      Does superblack soften? Been wearing the jacket daily, albeit not hard, for about 2 months. At first it felt like armor, has certainly softened a bit since then, but does it get like 634 indigo denim soft?  Dont care either way, just wondering:)

        My 16oz superblack shirt has only softened a little bit in 2 years. This jacket appears to be more malleable but still pretty armour like. Will report in a couple of months.

        On a side note - this jacket is such a goto choice for me, I really love it. Didnt think I would ever go for the cowboy tux thing but it really works for me.

          Just received an Iron Suit yesterday, this and the 9634Z, as my first 2 steps into the world of Iron Heart.  Feel like jumping from roof-top to roof-top and taking on the world with this suit on.  Glad I made the right choice.

          Also would like to note G's superb customer service, pre-order and post-order.

          Will post some pics as soon as I break them in.

                Ordered my first IH product and this is the one I picked. Looking forward to see how the XXXL fits. 🙂

                    3 days to the USA, amazing! Quick question though… Will the jacket stretch out a bit. The XXXL is kinda snug under the arms. Not sure if I should send it back or hope it'll stretch.

                      You'll get a bit of stretch.  No shrinkage…..

                            Mine has definitely loosened up a bit. Worry not.

                                That being said, it's going to be a helluva fight! Superblack is tough stuff!!! I have yet to find a fabric more stubborn than the 22oz Superblack

                                I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                                  I agree with this completely as well. That is the fun of it all! Superblack the world over I say.  😎
